hi ya tassie wombat my solution was ( This may help this may not )


right gear
Key-less entry system
part # A1-450
$91.95
I just changed out key-less entry system under dash once you take out the glovebox
Worked for me

Comes with 2 remotes (4x actuators still in box) and the key-less unit
I too have all led lights every where. hehe

thanks for all the replies fellas,ill have another look tomorrow,see if I can get at the bcm to check the plug etc,also the earth leads and door switches, oh and there doesn't appear to be any buzzer that goes off if I leave the key in the ignition and open the door(there is on that comes on if the lights are on whilst can isn't running though).

Fixed my remote, first I put a "new" battery in from post office, Thinking these have a shelf life I ordered 10 off CR1620
to suit my remote. They just arrived, changed batteries and remote now works like a new one.
This may disclaim the LED theory as that's all I have, Led or HID. Happy camper again.
@ Roofy was a pain using Key all the time, cant see how you can do it.

just cause battery is new don't count on it, buy a few they are cheap ,I ended getting 10 from Ebay for $1
with free post.

Ok,I pulled out the plug on the bcm,cleaned with contact cleaner,did the same thing with all the door light switches,and also the plug on the actuator in the drivers side door,sprayed wd40 on all locks ,locked and unlocked probably 50 times with no problems,then drove to work this morning,which is only 5-6 k's,took 7-8 pushes on the button to lock,Bugger,back to the drawing board,ill try the earth leads this weekend.

But it worked after you disturbed the wiring harness on the bcm, see if you can put more pressure on plug with cable ties. You can even try wiggle the wires when it plays up aswell to see if it starts working.

The fact it worked untill you drove the car tells me that the fault is in either a wire, the plug and its pins or the bcm itself coz it breaks the connection after you have shaken the car around a bit driving over bumps.

another thing I noticed today was if I used the key to lock it,the remote would then work no problems.

Too just unlock it? Or unlock then lock?

[threedogs]

Yeah you're pretty close but no cigar.
If you open and close Drivers door only after it fails, will it work then??

It's a long shot but try waiting for your electric aerial to fully go down and the motor to stop before trying to lock the vehicle with the remote.
